  Installation of LL6.2 goes to GRUB
Posted by: javier_mina - 11-26-2022, 11:05 PM - Forum: Installing Linux Lite - Replies (8)

I have been happily using Linux Lite for a number or years.  When I just tried to upgrade ver 5.8 with 6.2 etched on a USB, my installation started well going through location, network connection and so on but then went black.  When I rebooted, I ended up with this... "GNU GRUB version 2.4 minimal BASH-like line editing is supported.  For the first word, Tab lists possible command completions.  Anywhere else TAB lists possible device or file completions. "  Then I get a grub> command. 

It won't reinstall, just goes right back to the message and prompt.

How can I fix this?  Is my Dell laptop bricked?

  ttyS0 permission denied
Posted by: timbuck2 - 11-26-2022, 02:22 PM - Forum: Other - No Replies

I am trying to use the serial port to access a Lantronix mss100 via null modem cable - LL 5.4.

Using gtkterm, when I run the program I get a "permission denied" message.  How do I gain access to the serial port?

*Edit* Solved - I had to add myself as a member of the "dialout" group.  Now it is working.

  integrated/external webcam not working
Posted by: kamui - 11-26-2022, 12:44 PM - Forum: Other - Replies (1)

Hello!

The integrated webcam is not shown at all in skypeforlinux/discord/cheese/chrome. The external webcam is shown, but the content is just black.
I have dual boot with Windows 10. The integrated webcam works there and the external one (Genius Eye 312) started to work after I installed its driver.
My laptop is ACER Nitro 5 AN515-58-789C and I found no keyboard shortcut in the user manual.

The system report: https://www68.zippyshare.com/v/Vf6ljuUW/file.html
I figured that the internal webcam is 0408:4035 Quanta Computer, Inc. ACER HD User Facing in lsusb.

cat /dev/video0 shows No such file or directory


sudo dmesg | grep -ni "uvc|facing":

Code:

The lines with "Failed to query" and "Failed to initialize" are with red.

Hi there!

Is there any way to receive feedback from the update manager (a la Xubuntu or MX or something similar) in order to know what it is doing at every moment while updating?

Thank you.

  Installing Webmin on Linux Lite 6.2
Posted by: sqwuade - 11-21-2022, 09:56 AM - Forum: Installing Software - Replies (12)

Is anyone running Linux Lite as a server OS?  I'm running Apache, LetsEncrypt, ssh, xRDP and it works great as a webserver.  The only problem I've had is that Webmin doesn't support Linux Lite so, after Webmin is installed (By either .deb file or manually) the OS show as "Generic Linux 6.0" and the Webmin server modules don't load automatically like they do when installing on Ubuntu 22 or Mint 21.  It seems to me that the same install routines that work for Ubuntu and Mint should work for LL since I don't see any real differences in the filesystem structures so if I could trick Webmin into thinking it was installing on Ubuntu instead of LL that might work.

Screenshot:

Any ideas?

Thanks!
